ECHOBLENDER - experimental delay/distortion fog maschine

The ECHOBLENDER is based on the “Echobender” by Casper Electronics with some tweaks for improved control. A device for dark echos (low pass filtered) and the ‘blackened’ noise of the internal distortion feedback. This machine is a delay/distortion bastard. Plus it kills fascists! The controls, from upper left to lower right: DRY VOLUME, FEEDBACK(DISTORTION), WET VOLUME, COARSE TIME, FINE TIME, REPEATS. It’s a true-bypass effect with a foot-switch and a ultraviolet indicator LED and an orange clipping/limiting diode in the feedback path to make better use of the self oscillations. Instead of just a blend pot, the ECHOBLENDER has two separate VOLUME pots for a precise mix of DRY and WET signal. With the WET at zero, the DRY also works as a signal BOOSTER to increase volume of the input signal. The FEEDBACK pot let’s you play with the self-oscillation and/or distortion capabilities of this versatile effect. With the DECAY fully clockwise you get classic delay self-oscillations. Get lost in a world of foggy delay noise clouds. Build into a die-cast aluminum enclosure painted with an unique 'burned out industry camo' pattern with a METSÄÄN sticker. Power-socket: 9V DC , 2,1mm DC jack boss-style (inside -/+ outside) PSU is NOT included.Handmade by GRM for METSÄÄN. BUY HERE. (link to webshop.)

DIRTY DRONE LOWLIFE + ECHOBLENDER #5

The DIRTY DRONE LOWLIFE + ECHOBLENDER is an experimental subbass and drone texture generator combined with an experimental delay/distortion unit. It is housed in a die-cast aluminum pedal enclosure painted with the 'burned out industrial camo' patterns. The DIRTY DRONE LOWLIFE can be manually triggered by a TRIGGER button and externally with a TRIGGER/GATE input. The DECAY has a SHORT/LONG switch to select the range and a DECAY pot (works counterclockwise) to fine tune it, from snappy to loooong. An orange LED indicates triggers and the decay. With the DRONE toggle switch it can be set to play a constant drone sound as well. The sound is that of two oscillators each with an array of possible settings: TRIANGLE/SQUARE and CLEAN/DIRTY toggle switches and of course a FREQUENCY control. Oscillator 1 has an additional OFFSET control, that has a CV input with a very limited useful range from 1.6-2.6V (with an orange indicator LED). Both oscillators are mixed with the BLEND control, that allows to shape the output waveform in a relatively linear manner, but the build in LDRs (Light Dependent Resistors) can also used for that. When they are selected with the BLEND SELECT toggle switch ‘throwing shade’ or ‘shining light’ allows for a non-linear modulation of the blend, by hand gestures for example. The signal then runs through a resonant low pass filter with CUTOFF FREQUENCY, RESONANCE and SATURATION control. In the end of the signal chain is a VOLUME control. From there it either goes to the DRY OUT or if nothing is plugged into the DRY OUT to the ECHOBLENDER, which also as an input for an external signal, so it can be used independently from the LOWLIFE.

A device for dark echos (low pass filtered) and the ‘blackened’ noise of the internal distortion feedback. These machine is a delay/distortion bastard. Plus they kill fascists!

ECHOBLENDER #8 - Delay Feedback Distortion Noise

The ECHOBLENDER #8 is based on the “Echobender” by Casper Electronics with some tweaks for more sensitive control. It is housed in a handbuild enclosure made from reycled aluminum window still covers found in a constructionsite dumpster and black wooden sidepanels. The controls are (from upper lest to lower right: WET VOLUME, FEEDBACK(DISTORTION), DRY VOLUME VOLUME, DECAY(REPEATS), COARSE TIME and FINE TIME.

It’s a true-bypass effect with a foot-switch and a ultraviolet indicator LED. Instead of just a blend pot, the ECHOBLENDER has two separate VOLUME pots for a precise mix of DRY and WET signal. With the WET at zero, the DRY also works as a signal BOOSTER to increase volume of the input signal. The FEEDBACK pot let’s you play with the self-oscillation and/or distortion capabilities of this versatile effect. With the DECAY fullclowwise you get classic self-oscillations. Get lost i a world of foggy delay noise clouds. Handmade by GRM for METSÄÄN.

ECHOBLENDER #5 - Delay Feedback Distortion Noise

The ECHOBLENDER #5 is based on the famous echobender-circuit by Casper Electronics. It is housed in a handpainted die-cast aluminium stompbox enclosure with aluminium knobs. WET and DRY VOLUME,  DECAY and FEEDBACK/DISTORTION, COARSE and FINE TIME. It’s a true-bypass effect with a foot-switch and a ultraviolet indicator LED. Instead of just a blend pot, the ECHOBLENDER has two separate VOLUME pots for a precise mix of DRY and WET signal. With the WET at zero, the DRY also works as a signal BOOSTER to increase volume of the input signal. The FEEDBACK pot let’s you play with the self-oscillation and/or distortion capabilities of this versatile effect. With the DECAY fullclowwise you get classic self-oscillations.
